FFRMas 2008 Day 3 – Long Post Is Long!
OK… so let’s make up for all the stuff I didn’t do the past few days:
Fei Longer is now synced. Difficulty is a low 10. Somehow, in the sync process, we lost 2 arrows… so I had to wipe a few scores. Sorry. Clear your cache to get the properly synced and correctly arrow’d version. If you like Star Salzman, check out his site and download his tunes. And yes hi19… the file is a jackdump.
The 2 files for today are Forgotten Planet by Rushjet1 and bmv.578 by OSTER Project. Forgotten Planet is far, far easier than most of the Rushjet you know, but it has that same 8-bit sound. This is Patashu’s first public release, although you can expect another of his files to hit the public in about 10 days. Expect many more good charts by him too! This one is only a Standard, a 5.
bmv.578 may sound slightly familiar to some people… it’s only 1 small letter off from what it’s based on, which is Bach’s Little Fugue in G Minor, aka BWV.578. To me, it’s a high FMO for the 5 repetitive jack sections, specifically the long up jacks. They sure give me fits. Regardless, the song is amazing and the chart is excellent. Props to dag12 for it. You should all play it now… there is nothing better than well stepped and synced classical charts.

FFRMas Day 2!
I’m leaving for the airport in about 20 minutes, so even shorter than yesterday… I’ll fix the sync on Fei Longer when I get home tonight. Today’s 2 songs are Felys by Onoken, stepped by Vote4Nixon and Snake Riddem by our very own championanwar, stepped by jokim. I guess I lied yesterday… and Felys is a purchased song (naturally), given that we already have a Felys remix in-game. Snake Riddem is in Hip-Hop though. Also, difficulties are probably wrong… will fix tonight.Â

FFRMas 2008 – Day 1!
Sorry that this is so brief… I’m in Philly with my family, flying back to LA tomorrow morning. I’ll make sure to give a big story on Tuesday.
Today is the start of our 3rd annual FFRMas celebration… 12 days of publicly released FFR files! This year is a year of diversity. 2 new levels each day. That’s 24, for those who don’t want to do math. Of those 24, we have 22 different artists… and 24 different stepfilers (although 2 are collabs, so there are 2 users with repeat levels).
All levels will be at the end of Hip-Hop through the end of the event, then they’ll be moved to their proper locations. Today’s songs are Fei Longer by Star Salzman, stepped by hi19hi19 and Night and Day by Virt, stepped by ElectricWerewolf. Sadly, I won’t get to play either of these files until Tuesday… so I can’t give you any reviews on them. Also, the difficulties listed in-game will be wrong until I can play them and fix it.
But, I’m sure you all are just glad to get some levels…  not to mention darkshark’s MP contest running now through 11pm EST!!! Maybe he’ll do something involving these new levels? Who knows…
-Tass
PS – No links, because I’m in a rush… will make sure to give love to all the linkless folks on Tuesday. Promise.
Multiplayer Not-So-Spontaneous Contest!!
The Date: Sunday, December 14th
The Time: 1pm to 8pm PST
The Place: Multiplayer lobby of FFR
The Prizes? Your piece of HALF A MILLION credits + subscriptions
This contest will be a little bit of everything (MP gaming, scavenger hunts, FFR trivia, and more!), details can be found HERE.
Tass note: Expect Photo Scavenger Hunt 3: Return of the Mannequin to take place the weekend before Christmas (the 19th-21st). And, of course, we’ll be having a Christmas song event too.
2 Hour Spon Con
Yes, spon con. Because all the hip and cool people shorten everything. This spontaneous contest is opinion based and 100% subjective… so the winning answer will be the one that I like best:
Which non-widget artist on FFR would you most like to see an album and support token from? Why?
Winning answer will get 25,000 credits. Any other answers I like will get 10,000. Consider this my way of giving out some credits in the post-purchased splurged environment.
You guys have 2 hours. Contest ends at 11pm PST.

PS – Don’t forget about the schwag sale going on through tomorrow night. Promo code: yayffr
Congrats to trumaestro for winning! Also 10 other users were given 10k for their responses. I also have already contacted SGX to start discussing an album.

This is an absolute first for FFR… we’ve never discounted our schwag across the board before. Until now. From right now through the end of Monday, you can get 20% off your entire order from the FFR Store!
As of right now, there are ONLY 3 stickers left. So if you want one, you better buy it ASAP.

CRD + FFR = <3
Cock Rock Disco. If that name isn’t enough to get you interested then I don’t know what is.
Cock Rock Disco (CRD), the preeminent label based in Berlin, owned and operated by Jason Forrest, a.k.a. DJ Donna Summer, has recently given FFR permission to use any music published by CRD.
The first song to make it in the game, “Counter Clockwise Chant Pattern” by Terminal 11, is just the beginning of high-energy/breakcore/sexy that is the music released through CRD.
It will challenge your mind, break you down, kick you and then pick you back up leaving you different than you once were.
Anyhoot, yes, I did just use that word. Just like I’m stretching this out much longer than I need to because CRD, Cock Rock Disco, should be featured on this site more than it is. That means that if you are willing and able, grab some of their music and step it for the game, or see here for more links and which artists CRD represents, et cetera. But yeah, along with just stretching this out, I’m going to repeat their name a few mores times because I really like them that much.

Yes, every one of those is a separate link, all going to the same place, or are they? The answer, yes, they do all go to the same place. Cock Rock Disco. That one also goes to the same place.
Also, make sure to check out their site, www.CockRockDisco.com, for free music, news about new releases, forums, free music and more free music.
Thanks for your attention,

P.S. Cock Rock Disco
P.P.S. Thanks PsYcHoZeRoSk8eR
P.P.P.S. from Tass – This is the last time blu gets to write a news story. 
CCCP… Not Soviet Russia!
No, not russia. It’s our most recent song! Counter Clockwise Chant Pattern by Terminal 11. It’s… beyond words. Mega-FGO. Good luck trying to even FC this file. You can try for it for 7500 credits in purchased (the last of the purchased releases for the time being, yay!) You can thank gnr61 for this mass regurgitation of arrows.
Subbies get a new behanjc file in funk.

Happy Thanksgiving! A new song & A song about Thanksgiving
I don’t feel poetic today, so I’ll save my usual diatribies about holidays or events and just get down to the fun stuff. I added 300 This Is Sparta EXTENDED Mix to the game today, as a special holiday public release… because I know nobody can get enough of 300 meme mixes, so I had to give you all the EXTENDED goodness. Song is put together by Funtastic Power! and is stepped by hi19hi19. Borderline between a 6 and a 7; let me know your thoughts, please. You can find it on page 1 of Misc (for now).
Also, I whipped together a video for my favorite Thansgiving song because I couldn’t find it anywhere on YouTube already. Check out the video (trust me, you’ll like it!) on my profile, in my most recent random thought.
